Though he was originally from the great Yankee land of Philadelphia, Clemson thumbed his nose at his birthplace in support of the southern states. It is a little known fact that Clemson cared so much about his fellow soldiers that he would come up with creative ways to rally the troops. One Clemson classic was to have all the men drop trow and "face north!" As you have probably already surmised, over the years, the "face north" full-mooning has been telephone-gamed into North Face. So, you'll be hard pressed to find a Clemsonite who is not sporting at least one North Face item in honor of that zany Thomas Green Clemson and his wacky war antics. The upside to this mistake of words is that the rugged North Face gear helps protect Clemsonites from the savage climate of the South Carolina upstate. With temperatures as low as 30-40s in the winter, no Clemsonite should be caught outdoors without North Face's patented ski gear.
